it is more than three years that I came calling
it is more than three years that I came asking
make me the man You want me to be
 
for so long I was without a Father
for so long I lived in the flesh
for so long I lived for this world
 
I bow my head in shame
I want to erase that what happened
I thank you for not taking me then
I now can ask again, make me the man You want me to be
 
then you took away pride, I did not realize
then you took away hate, I did not realize
then You took away anger, I did not realize
then You took away immoral ways, I did not realize
 
You gave me love, I realized
You gave me patience, I realized
You gave me gentleness, I realized
You gave me kindness, I realized
 
I said I will become humble, I said I removed pride
You said humility is a gift from You that take away pride
I realized then You humbled me for I am Your child
 
You changed me and made me the man You wanted me to be
 
for as long as I have to remain here
I will worship You, ABBA Father
every day Your Word will be my light
every day I will kneel down to Your presence
and then when I breathe that last breath
You will come to bring me home
for I am Your child, now, then and beyond.
